Symantec Storage Foundation

Symantec Storage Foundation powered by Veritas delivers storage Quality of Service (QoS) at the application level and maximizes your storage efficiency, availability and performance across operating systems, virtualization technologies, and storage hardware. Storage Foundation enables a flexible and agile infrastructure with features such as SmartIO and Flexible Storage Sharing while reducing storage costs with features such as deduplication, compression, thin provisioning, and storage tiering. Storage Foundation also provides a standard set of integrated tools from Veritas Operations Manager, a comprehensive management platform. With Storage Foundation, you can adopt Solid State Drive (SSD) technology and implement any changes to your storage infrastructure, including operating system or array migrations, without impacting application availability.

Data Sheets

Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS) unlocks the true potential of Direct Attached Storage (DAS), without sacrificing performance or availability. FSS provides up to 4x the performance at less than 20% of the cost of a traditional Storage Area Network (SAN) environment.

This joint whitepaper demonstrates how SymantecTM Cluster File System with Intel® Solid-State Drive DC S3700 Series, provides 4X performance @ ~80% reduction in the cost of SAN while maintaining full availability and redundancy of the internal SSDs.

SmartIO in Symantec™ Storage Foundation 6.2 for Linux enables customers to ensure storage Quality of Service (QoS) at the application level while optimizing storage footprint through high-performance, in-server storage. SmartIO achieves up to 400% performance gains, while reducing costs by over 80% over traditional Storage Area Network (SAN).

IDC believes that thin provisioning will continue to be a valuable technology with significant benefits for enterprises. Read this white paper to learn what IDC recommends that organizations look for when selecting a thin provisioning solution.

Smaller amounts of well managed capacity can deliver the same value — and at a significantly lower cost — as larger amounts of poorly managed storage. In this white paper, Enterprise Strategy Group outlines the recommended approach to put your organization's wasted capacity back to work while reducing total capex and opex spend on storage.
